For a while now many people have been talking about the inexorable drive by our political elites to form a united states of Europe. We have of course often been rebuffed as being a bit tin-hat and of course that’s not what’s happening.
Well a bit of video over at Archbishop Cranmers rather lets the cat out of the bag.
As Captain Ranty has observed on many occasion if the EU controls the finances, then everything else effectively follows. Mind he does today also offer the hope that forcing fiscal unity will render the implosion of the EU project inevitable – of course it may get all rather messy before that happens and the implosion will likely be messier. The article by < ahref=http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/peteroborne/100098260/this-crisis-will-give-germany-the-empire-its-always-dreamed-of/">Peter Oborne that the Captain links to is well worth the read, and strongly echo’s much of the thinking in Archbishop Cranmers earlier piece. The replacement of the sovereign state with a united Europe regardless of the will of the people has been sought after for a long time, and pursued with varying methods and degrees of success down the ages. The disparity of peoples, customs and laws contains the seeds of it’s own destruction just as it has for every previous attempt.Meanwhile the great and good think the solution to the current problem is “more Europe, not less”.
